This past week we took one more trip to Indianapolis to see some sites before we head back into the drudgery that is school. The main attractions that we went for were the Zoo, Conner Prairie and the Children's Museum. Everything was so much fun and I will get to all of that but first I wanted to tell you about the fantastic store that we happened upon while there. Ok so I didn't necessarily find it but my hubby did. He and the hubby of my friend were going out on an ice cream hunt for the adults and they saw a sign in a shopping center that said "Knitspot." Well my friend and I had meant to do a yarn shop search before we left but didn't end up making it that far, so them finding a shop just down the street from the hotel was a great find! I think they thought twice about telling us about it but then decided that was too cruel. Yeah they are good husbands. Well, this store was just gorgeous!! It was all color coordinated and had various antiques used to display throughout the store. There were quite a few yarns there that I had only seen online so it was nice to see them in person. Man I could've spent a lot of time in there! We were on the way to other things though so I found some really nice Lorna's Laces superwash merino that I plan to spin into a 3 ply yarn for socks. The staff at the store was really friendly and helpful and the selection was impeccable! I would definitely suggest it as a destination if you are ever in Indianapolis. The only thing I would comment on which isn't really a negative but just surprise, was that they did have quite a few skeins of yarn that were over $50 and even $100. It was interesting to feel them and think of what I would use them for, but also made me wonder how many of those high priced skeins would a store really sell. Hmmmm.... Below is the fiber that I ended up with. I am totally a sucker for these kind of colors together so it isn't really surprising that I picked this, but I think it will make some beautiful footwear this fall.
